TUTORS
TUTOR: Simon Thomas
Pioneer of that now termed the Art/Science forum, Simon is highly regarded as an artist researching the underlying patterns of nature through observation and scientific study. His passion is to celebrate natural wonder as a poetry of space. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1988 he has completed numerous public and private sculpture commissions, exhibited work both in the UK and abroad, and traveled widely as a guest at international festivals and symposia.
Throughout this period Simon has developed a wide-ranging knowledge of geometric principles with a particular interest in natural efficiencies. Simons suggestion that "The truth of science is beauty....the beauty of art is truth" is key in understanding the motivation behind much of his research into the nature and meaning of things, and has lead to many collaborative initiatives and projects.
